Hey, what's up everyone.

I am halfway through Strauss' book, and I've already started forcing myself into approaches. Honestly, it's been fun. Nerve-racking at times, but fun. And rewarding.

Anyway, I was a bar last night, and I started hitting on a 3 set, all girls. This was something I considered practice because none of the girls were terribly attractive. Anyway, I opened with "Do you believe in psychics" question, asked them to think of a number between one and ten, guessed seven correctly for 2 out of 3. Convo started rolling along, and I was negging on all three of them, actually. They were eating it up.

Eventually, I ran out of steam (I am pretty new at this, after all), however, if I went back to that table, they would have totally been into it.

After that, this girl I've met before walked up to me. "Hi," she says, "blah blah blah." So we're talking, and I'm negging her in all the right ways. You guys ever notice that when you neg a girl, they always laugh. It's fucking hilarious. She kept doing this thing where she's sort of curtsy in the middle of an exclamatory sentence. So I was like, "Yo, you keep doing this really goofy curtsy, and it's cute." Something to that effect. Gold.

I should have been a hair more ballsy/clever and relocated. Didn't, and she went back to her friends. So I left without saying goodbye (you know, to play that whole punishing thing). She texted me "It was soo good talking to you." I didn't text her back until this afternoon, and I was like, "that was cool last night." She texts, "Yeah, I was really intoxicated."

So, at this point, I'm thinking I shoud still be negging her a bit. This is the part of my game that was non-existent before reading The Game. So I imagine negging is something I need to practice. Anyway, I texted her back, "yeah, I could tell. It's cool though."

She hasn't texted me back. LOL! It's not a big deal at all; to me, this is all practice. Bottom line: when do you stop negging? How much negging is too much negging? What I just said was tame, right? Can someone give me an example of a neg that is too far (does that even exist?).

On a separate note, this community fucking rocks. I've done seven approaches in the last two days (I only started reading The Game three days ago), and I'm really not bad at this contrary to what I always thought. I'm a teacher, so I'm good at commanding attention and working a crowd--now I'm putting to use as far as picking up women. And it feels really great, and I can't wait to keep practicing and getting better and better.

Thanks in advance, guys.

you sound like you're doing pretty well so far

I did notice, however, that you depend a lot on negging. I would recommend finishing the book and then research further online. Negging too much could get you into trouble and you'll probably find yourself getting stuck at the early stages.

You're gonna want to start building rapport and comfort with your target. The whole point of negging is to set yourself out as different from all the other guys who compliment the girl. It also helps you in cocky/funny. If you only neg, girls will most likely either think of you as that funny cheeky guy, or they'll think you dont find them attractive at all and end up zoned.

The community is very good. But finish the book before you finalise your opinion

Seriously, I suggest you to stop reading The Game and all the negging crap. I mean, it is an inspiring book that every frustrated dude look up to, but seriously, stop reading it.

The thing is, that you actually do care about what just happened with the girl, but you just ignore it and continue to other chicks. That's not how you self-improve!
What you just said was fucking stupid. You had her in your hands, but you decide to "throw" another neg or act gay just for the heck of it. All you had to do is to set a meet up or something and escalate, not to keep on going in circles all the time.

I know its not the kind of reply you expected, but all this perspective that attraction is based on social value is a total shitload of crap.

Read this, maybe it will open your eyes a bit more

These are of course our opinions, i personally use MM as my foundation and build upon it. Research everything with an open mind and dont try to be persuaded with one persons opinion over another.

Im quite into martial arts as well as game and one thing ive noticed as a similarity is the whole "The one im learning is better than yours!" No one style or martial art is superior to another, it all comes down to an individuals preferences.

They both produce results and finding the one that suits you is whats important.

the neg should be funny and make you both laugh. It shouldn´t be cynical and piss her off completely

Negs are for the beginning of a conversation. It´s ok if you neg less often after a few minutes. Don´t forget kino and rapport
